Orlando Officer Injured By Broken Glass On Arrest

AROUND CENTRAL FLORIDA

A routine police call Friday sent an officer to the hospital after the suspect tried to vault from a window.

Orlando police Detective Glen Glause had cuts on his left arm from broken glass. He was treated at Orlando Regional Medical Center, said police spokesman Sgt. Joe Robinson.

The suspect, El Jordan, was charged with aggravated battery, aggravated assault in connection with an assault on his girlfriend, aggravated battery on a police officer and resisting arrest with violence.

Glause and two other officers went to 416 S. Terry Ave. about 9:40 a.m. Friday to question Jordan about his girlfriend, who reported Jordan had broken her nose and threatened to kill her the day before.

Jordan asked to go into his bedroom to put on pants and shoes. When he returned, he tried to leap through a window, splintering the glass. Police tried to restrain the 6-foot-5, 260-pound man, then sprayed him with cayenne pepper. He was taken to the Orlando police booking office.
